What's
Upper?
Manny
Pacquiao
(see photo above) cemented his claim to being the best
pound-for-pound boxer Saturday night with a spectacular
performance that ended with Hatton sprawled
helplessly on the canvas after a devastating left hand
to the head late in the second round. Coming off a
dominating win over De La Hoya, Pacquiao was even
better against Hatton, knocking him down two times in
the first round before finally stopping him with a
vicious left hand that dropped Hatton for good in the
140-pound title bout. Referee Kenny Bayless took
one look at Hatton and declared the fight over at 2:59
of the second round...
LAST
NIGHT A DJ SAVED A LIFE…. THE REALEST SH#T I'VE EVER
SEEN
by:
Vader (WonderTwinZ)
HERE
ARE THE STATS:
-
98,668 people nationwide waiting for organ
transplants right now.
- 28,352 transplants performed last year.
- 14,393 donors last year.
- 6,411 people died waiting for an organ
transplant last year.
- 17 people die each day waiting for a
transplant.
- 1 person is added to the waiting list every 12
minutes.
If
you could save someone’s life, would you? My brother is
a well-known HipHop DJ who has built-up his name through
hard work, a dedicated hustle, and his sharing nature.
My brother has a work ethic like none I’ve ever seen.
He’s the type of guy to set his mind on something and
truly complete it. He decided one day he wanted to start
getting healthy and become a runner. Now, 9 years later,
he’s up every morning and completes 10 miles on the
treadmill before 9am. His drive and determination has
always amazed me. Since he was a little kid, he was
always the type to split his food and offer you half.
Collectively my brother and I have been working hard to
help other musicians in need. Almost 10 years ago, my
brother developed The Original HipHop Yellow Pages (The
Connex List). This magazine shares contact
information of individuals that can help out the careers
of independent HipHop artists. Sharing info and helping
others seemed like common sense to my brother. People
have never stopped thanking him for his help and he’s
never stopped offering.
My brother aka DJ Sonic, and myself are known as
The Wonder TwinZ. We’ve both achieved some
amazing goals and accomplishments in our lives. We are
the tour DJs for HipHop Icons, Naughty By Nature
and have traveled around the globe to DJ in dozens of
foreign countries. We are celebrating our 8th year as
the hosts and DJs of our own morning show on SiriusXM
Satellite Radio. Our magazine, The Connex List, is in
its 10th year and still going strong. We’ve created an
empire for mass communications through our email system
(you probably have an email from us in your inbox right
now).
While we are extremely proud of all of these
accomplishments, none of them even compare to the heroic
accomplishment my brother has achieved this past week.
DJ Sonic is a true hero in my eyes and a true-life saver
in Will’s eyes.
Ya’ see… Will is one of our greatest friends from
childhood. We all grew up together with dreams of
becoming successful in the HipHop world. As the years
went on and we got older, Will developed diabetes and
eventually his kidney’s failed and he was added to the
7-year waiting list of patients in need of a transplant.
Will has been going to kidney dialysis treatment for a
while, which required him to go to the doctor 4 days a
week and hook up to a kidney dialysis machine for 6
hours each time. Throughout all of this, Will maintained
his good spirits and managed to suppress the thoughts of
him losing a battle to kidney disease, the same battle
that has taken the lives of almost 7,000 people last
year alone.
Once my brother realized that his homie’s life was in
jeopardy and without a kidney transplant Will might not
live long enough for this 7-year waiting list, he
immediately called the doctor and setup an appointment
to see if there was any way he could help Will out.
After one simple blood test, the doctor told my brother
that he was a match for Will’s blood type. The next
thing ya know, the two of them are taking care of all
the proper insurance paperwork and setting a date for
the actual surgery.
While this news was obviously good news, it still scared
our mother to think of her son going into a serious
surgery. There is always a chance of some infection that
could complicate the surgery or even claim the lives of
both my brother and my man Will. Needless to say, we
were all worried.
5am Tuesday morning we were at the hospital ready to see
a miracle. The doctors were going to perform two
surgeries back-to-back and transplant my brother’s
healthy kidney into Will’s body. 6 hours later, the
operations were done. The doctors said everything worked
out perfect and both my brother and Will spent the week
recovering at Stony Brook University Hospital.
My brother came home today and has been takin’ it easy,
as are the doctor’s orders. He’s a hustler by nature so
he’s back on his blackberry handling some light
business. Will’s health is getting better everyday and
the doctors say that will continue. At this time last
year, Will received some of the worst news of his life.
Now one year later, He’s back!!… and better than before.
My brother saved Will’s life and for that he is a true
hero. And I’m proud to be his brother...
Over
the past few months, whispers of trouble in paradise
between Hip-Hop star couple Nas and Kelis
have hit the wires and today the ineviteable happened:
Kelis filed for divorce. According to a report from
VIBE magazine, Kelis officially began the
process to end the four year marriage to the fiery
lyricist; she is citing irreconciliable differences. "I
can confirm that she has filed for divorce. We request
the media to respect her privacy during this very
difficult time," a rep told the outlet. Kelis is
currently seven months pregnant with the now defunct
couple's first child together...

Rap
Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Kazzeo
(KHDC-CA):
"So last Friday night I attended a high school reunion.
Boy was that a spectacle. 75% of the people there were
unrecognizable. I'm sure I fit in that category as well.
It was fun and I accessorized properly (by accessorized
I mean had a beer in my hand the whole night). People
always make an issue about going to class reunions and
how much of a nightmare it is but, in reality, it's
usually pretty fun.
Paris Hilton continues to show why she's an
idiot. There was a video on TMZ where the
cameraman asked her what she thought about the Swine
Flu? She didn't know what that was and the the camera
guy explained that it's killing people in Mexico. Her
response was "Oh I don't eat that". What the fuck? Are
you kidding me? How is this idiot famous? She does
nothing for the world. She has no talent. She's nothing.
She's famous for being stupid. I wanna jump in the
DeLorean, hit it up to 88mph, and go back to the
night she was concieved so I could hand her dad a rubber
and say dude, the world will thank you for this in 25
years.
This past weekend was a perfect example why it's really
tough to be a Raiders fan. Once again, Al
Davis threw logic to the wind and drafted a suspect
player. That's all I'm gonna say about it until I see
the kid play"...
Chill
Will
(WCBN-MI):
"What Up Doe? Back from a great week in Sunny California
and a well deserved vacation. Hit the streets running
and went diggin at CSL and Lou's in San
Diego. YES I still buy vinyl!!!!Hit a couple dope
clothing spots and what up to Nasty Nes and the
fam in LA. Gonna keep it short and sweet this week.
Check out the show for some dope interviews and lots of
new music. For more information about me DJ Chill Will

Nesto
(WODU-VA):
"What's up people? The NBA playoffs are
definitely more exciting this year then last year.The
Celtics are hanging tough.. The Cavs are
looking strong, as are the Lakers, and what the
hell happened to the Hornets?? Getting beat by 58
points, WOW.
By the way have you ever been in training and been so
tired and frustrated with the material that you just
couldn't stay awake or understand the material? I'm
struggling hard this week. I'm doing some IT training
and I'm tired as hell, which does not help with fully
getting my mind around the material. Very frustrating
sitting in that class for 8 hours"...
Nate
Abney
(WKDU-Philly): "Another week from the Illadelph.
The Flyers are done and the Sixers are about to
join them. Thank God for the Phillies.
Meanwhile getting used to the warm up in weather. Look
out for the swine flu and maybe just maybe Raphael
Saddiq's song Never Give You Up is the best song in
the last 5 years easy. OUTTA HERE!!!!"...
Adam
Lowenstein
(WMHB-ME): "As a reminder, I will introduce you
to the new WMHB hip-hop director shortly, but for now,
please update your address books by removing
amlowenstein@gmail.com and replacing it with
hiphop@wmhb.org! I will continue to be in touch
and send charts over the next few weeks using the
hiphop@wmhb.org email address. Let me know if you
need anything!"...
Edgie
Kokoski
(WUNH-NH): "It's been a long day of running
around as I have been stocking up on Swine Flu masks.
Not to wear of course, but to sell on eBay for huge
profits when the Pandemic really gets going. The Swine
Flu is eerily similar to that SARS epidemic that wiped
out the human race a few years back. Thankfully those of
us that survived were able to rebuild society and start
over. I guess all of those people who wore SARS masks
should have held on to them. Personally, I've sealed my
apartment into a series of airtight tunnels a la
Eliot's home in "E.T."
This week's sign that Hollywood is all out of ideas:
a new science fiction movie about a bunch of prodigies
banding together for adventures in outerspace. The
title? "Star Trek". That's right. Just "Star
Trek". I think it really should be called "Star
Trek: The Next Replication".
I was reading that Sears has decided to
discontinue LL Cool J's clothing line and
slash prices by 50%-75%. Getting dissed by Sears is kind
of like getting turned down by a junkie prostitute.
The former manager of rap duo The Clipse was
arrested for running a $10 million dollar drug ring.
This was a baffling case for authorities to crack,
especially considering The Clipse's cryptic 1998 debut
single "Got Caught Dealin'".
After a brutally long and abusive winter, I was looking
forward to escaping New England this week to soak up
some warm weather and sunshine for a few days in Miami.
As my luck would have it, we are now on our 4th
consecutive day in New England above 80 degrees which is
nearly unprecedented for this time of year. I'll still
have a blast in Miami, but I can't help but feel like
the anticipation of a warm weather trip is somewhat
diminished. It could be worse though. I could be
Brick Records Mogul and College Radio benefactor
Papa D! who has a first class ticket to Swine Flu
Central. Join me in wishing him luck cheating
death...and don't forget my "Buy It Now" Swine Flu masks
on eBay - only $63.00 each. Hey, they're still
cheaper than the Pete Rock & CL Smooth wax that I
talked about last week"...
DJ

on tour. If you know people there, feel free to help
spread the word. Just send them this link:
